How have the russians been faring elsewhere? And has your tying down of troops had any noticable effect on Russian operations?

It would be nice if you posted a few maps showing other fronts, most are interested in what the German front looks like.
From the looks of what is showing up on your doorstep, I hope those are not full strength. You could be in for some headaches.
I am impressed with your continued ability to create encirclements!The battles are slowing down, but the Soviets are a ways from evening out the situation.

Just curious, was the attack on Greece worth an entire army basically idling in Athens instead of helping the push in Illyria? I mean, it did serve as a diversion, but was it worth the effort? If it was, could it be possible to do it again in Istanbul?
Also, your troops are worn out, don't you have any extra armies that can relieve them until they can get organized again?
Just a suggestion maybe you could drop a paratrooper behind the border in Istanbul? or whatever its called on the European side and one onto the old Russian-Romanian border, should disrupt there lines, and if things get too hot then you can just bring them on a marry chase through the country side.
If the Soviet commander hasan ounce of patience. He will hit you in the north with a bunch of fresh divisions and cause issues. If, on the other hand dribs and drabs get fed into the grinder, then it looks like the right wing of your armies should be able to keep rolling back the Soviet flank.
Ok, ok, I'm not convinced too, 'cause I saw lots of red units appearing from nowhere...Originally Posted by Myth
Gladiator: I'm not particularly convinced.
I wonder if there's evidence of soviet lack of MP. Are the enemy divisions at full strenght when you engage them?
Early 1945, Hitler speaks to Mussolini: "...and then we'll get final victory. Yes! We got a terrific secret weapon. Terrific! Devastating! Don't ask me more. I only tell you, its name is 'AI'..."
You continue to impress.
Very nice, you're going pretty well! I'd reccomend trying to push them back to a line in between the Black sea and Hungary (As it seems the shortest possible line.), but then again, what the hell would I know?
Also:
Bottom of the paragraph below the first picture, the only mistake I could find!Over fifteen hundred Italians and fourteen hundred Italians died in and around Petrovac.

Sure it is a mistake? Maybe they got confused, and attacked own lines! They are Italians, after all-And Friendly Fire Isn't!
Lets see..No paratroopers?
That diversion was what made the push possible! The Soviets were stacked on the frontline, before the landing in Greece!
Starfury: Well, the Soviets do finally seem to be getting some reinforcements in there.
MajorMayhem: What Russian operations?
Forster: Just take a look at the map in the conclusion for 1942. That'll show you just about exactly what the German front is like. As for the state of the Soviet reinforcements, most of them seem to be fresh and at full strength.
Maj. von Mauser: Hopefully still a long way from evening things out, yeah.
IFD123: As BlitzMartinDK says, none of this would have happened without the diversion.
Germanicus23: As BlitzMartinDK says, no paratroopers.
Jemisi: Dribs and drabs can cause issues anyway.
Gladiator: The newer ones are, the ones already caught before in the operation aren't as much.
rasmus40: Yeah, things are definitely slowing down.
LOLKATS: Oops about the mistake.
BlitzMartinDK: Too true.
BlitzMartinDK: Indeed.
BlitzMartinDK: Yep.
If the AI were clever, it would freely withdraw those units backwards towards more defend-able positions and shorter frontlines.
Alas, the AI only knows how to advance.
And the defence for the AI means simply sit and stand and die.
How big is your manpower pool?
And for how long can you afford offensive warfare?
So what is the strength ratio in divisions and brigades between you and the enemy atm?
And what is your airforce doing?
And the soviet counterpart?
As I said, I've been wrong before.
Well done, closing off Greece. I like your prospects, with 2 armies north of the Danube, and 2 south, once Vercellino finishes mopping up (hope I didn't just jinx him).
After so much indirect action, will this become a more direct approach? I wouldn't think Il Duce would fall into that. Perhaps a strike at the Bosphorus, to open up the straits, and allow another landing at the Danube? Without that access, you will lose your air support soon.
Where has the latest infantry division production been placed? I keep eyeing those units stationed in the 'heel' of Italy, wanting to throw them into the fray!
Can't slow down, that will allow the Red Army to consolidate.
Will it be a race to the Prut/Danube line, or is that a river too far?
I feel like I am personnaly invested in the outcome...

I did'nt notice that!As I said, I've been wrong before.

That just might be the new production, training up for getting sailed into the fray!
(Strategic reserve, up-org'ing after building -maybe also building/repairing the HQ)
From there they can deploy to either spain, africa, greece, Illyria coastline, or invade turkish province somewhere..All by fast transports (notice the harbor is occupied..)
And the airfields have units stationed as well. Has MUSSOLINI built an airforce?
Myth is tricksey, yes he is...
Tho' I don't know that you can call the transports 'fast'.
Heading WEST in your update on the first caption on the map? Seems like you'll be retreating by then!

The best bit in that game is this PM from OY to his packmates:
OrangeYoshi: ... I'll also put in a preliminary hunt order to Hunt Oky's replacement. (THE_SPLIT if I'm not mistaken). He publicly asked for a sub, and that is slightly more common in Lite if you have some sort of important role.
This is OY putting in a hunt order on Oky's replacement, who is none other than OY.
Quite droll indeed, sir.
FSM! I am convinced. Are you?
IPU! I have faith. Do you?

What about a amphibious landing of light infantry, I think it would severely mangle there supplies and take some man power away from some fronts.
